On an ODD result, their efforts in the past had a negative effect, on an EVEN result, their efforts in the past had a positive effect. On a natural 1 it is a catastrophically negative effect, and on a natural 12 is is a catastrophically positive effect.Then I'd just use the ol' bean and imaginate something cool and really unexpected. Entire countries being devoted/opposed to their 'side/god', their religion being required/forced on everyone ("Convert or die!"!), history where their religion/god is now seen as a saviour or as a great evil. For example, a formerly LE society is changed by "The Great Realization of Self" movement where the people rose up to fight off their LE oppressors, re-wrote the laws, and set up means for people to get out of poverty if they work hard (eg, a "CG" type society). Or maybe the opposite, where the LE society is now TN because of "The Slaughter of Law" decade where followers of the PC's god/religion indiscriminately slaughtered any who they thought was "oppressing them"...resulting the the deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands in a brutal civil war lasting 11 years.What I most definitely wouldn't do is have everything be 'the same', but with just more followers of the PC's religion or more 'power' for the PC's religion. Any major changes like what the PC's seem to be doing is going to have MAJOR and PROFOUND effects on the world stage, as it were. Imagine what the world would be like if someone traveled back in time and opposed/removed major factions or political/religious people in our world? No more Hitler? What would be the outcome? No Ghandi? No George Washington? No Hudsons Bay Company? ... ... ... a completely different world stage.Option #2: You could always have a MAJOR change be waiting for them, and when they've squirmed enough at just how f'ed up they made things some form of Time Elemental of the god/dess of Time shows up and says "You dun bad, kids, reeeaaaal bad! But The God of Time is allowing you ONE chance to fix this. Here's the deal..." And now they have to actively avoid messing things up doing certain other things that will balance stuff back to "mostly normal". Then when they come 'back' to their own time line, things are mostly the same...mostly... (see the TV series Flash, currently running, to see how 'mostly').^_^Paul L. Ming</blockquote>
